Lawyer Catalin Dancu stands in court in Bucharest wearing his sneakers Tuesday Sept 10 2013. A judge fined Dancu 5,000 lei ($1482 ) Tuesday for flouting dress regulations and for arriving late at the trial of four Romanians who are being tried over the theft of seven paintings, causing the case to be suspended. Dancu says he has apologized for being late, due to another case, but would contest the sneaker ruling. (AP Photo/ Alison Mutler)
